VAT REGISTRATION<\/strong>: Find out how to register for Value Added Tax in UK.<\/p>\n

You need to register with HMRC if your company generates more than \u00a385,000 of VAT taxable turnover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

VAT Registration is necessary for you to pay business sales tax. HMRC will issue your business with a value-added tax registration certificate.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: These VAT registration guidelines ‘Cofrestru ar gyfer TAW<\/a>‘ are also available in Welsh language.<\/p>\n

The certificate states three important pieces of information such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your individual registration number for Value Added Tax.<\/li>\n
  2. The date you must submit your first VAT Return and payment<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Confirmation of the start date if you voluntarily register, or if your company goes over the VAT Registration threshold. This identifies the ‘effective date of registration’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note<\/strong>: You can choose to register for value-added tax status<\/strong> even if your company turnover is below the threshold. But you cannot register voluntarily if you only sell exempt items (e.g. educational materials). You will have some regulatory responsibilities after registering for VAT in the UK.<\/p>\n
